Axis Q1614/E: new fixed IP cameras with identification of people and objects in difficult lighting conditions

New Q1614 and Q1614-E fixed network cameras from Axis Communications enable identification of people and objects in difficult lighting conditions, in addition to innovative features that facilitate installation.

The network video multinational Axis Communications has added two new fixed network cameras to its portfolio: Q1614 (for interior) y Q1416-E (prepared for outdoors), capable of capturing fast movements at 50 from 60fps, twice as many frames as other systems, and handle complex lighting scenes, with high contrasts and extreme low light conditions.

These innovative features make these new fixed IP security cameras an ideal solution for your traffic control application., citizen video surveillance and industrial environments.

Both models provide HDTV 720p resolution images at 50 from 60 fps, ensuring the capture of fast movements in detail and making it easy to identify people and objects (For example, of an industrial production line).

In this sense, the incorporation of Wide Dynamic Range technology (WDR) with Axis dynamic capture, Enables Q1614/-E cameras to handle scenes with complex lighting and high contrasts, like when sunlight creates very bright areas and others that are too dark.

Under these circumstances, These video surveillance devices offer homogeneous images, without sharp contrasts, which also allows the identification of people and objects, regardless of whether they are in a bright or low-light area within the camera's field of view.

The Axis Q1614/-E models also integrate the exclusive Lightfider technology, for optimal and effective operation of the device in extreme low lighting conditions. Unlike conventional day/night cameras, that change to black and white mode during the night, video surveillance systems with Lightfinder technology offer color images, even in very dark conditions for correct identification.

Erik Frännlid, Director of Product Management at Axis Communications, explains that “the Q1614 cameras combine two exclusive technologies first introduced in the previous Axis Q16 series models: Lightfinder and Wide Dynamic Rage with dynamic capture. The cameras not only adapt to any type of lighting conditions, They are also our first fixed network devices that provide a cleaner video image, con 50 from 60 fps and HDTV resolution 720p”

For this manager of the Swedish multinational, “The increase in the number of frames and high image quality are a successful combination in all those applications where rapid movement of objects is required to be captured.”, even in demanding lighting situations”.

Ease of installation and leveling

Another innovation of these Axis models are the functions to reduce installation time and ensure optimal mounting and configuration of the cameras.. The new leveling tools, For example, a buzzing sound and a flashing light, Help the installer mount the camera at the correct horizontal level, which is especially useful when the installer is unsure whether the mounting bracket is properly leveled or not.

Axis Q1614/-E son, besides, the first cameras developed by the Swedish manufacturer with adjustable high-sensitivity crash detection, a feature that allows the camera to automatically send an alarm to the control room if it is hit. This feature is especially helpful in areas that regularly experience vandalism and helps operators maximize camera uptime..

Available on the market during the fourth quarter of 2013 through the company's usual sales channels, Cameras are compatible with virtually any video management software in the industry. Includes support for Axis developments, as Camera Companion, Camera Application Platform, Video Hosting System and the Onvif standard.
